March 1937. Some of the charter members were Mary Adler, Vide Bartlett, Lydia Fohn-Hansen, and Kay Patty, wife of the University president.

  • A Criminal Record Shouldn't Be a Life Sentence to Poverty
    GETTY PLATT IMAGES/SPENCER A Criminal Record Shouldn’t Be a Life Sentence to Poverty By Rebecca Vallas, Sharon Dietrich, and Beth Avery May 2021 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Contents 1 Introduction and summary 5 Clean slate in the states 12 Fair chance licensing in the states 21 How Congress can learn from the states 23 Lessons learned and observations for policymakers and advocates 27 Conclusion 27 About the authors 28 Appendix 30 Endnotes Introduction and summary Following America’s failed experiment with mass incarceration and overcriminalization, an estimated 70 million to 100 million Americans now have some type of criminal record.1 While felony records carry the greatest stigma, in the digital era, any record—no matter how old or minor—can stand in the way of reentry, economic stability, and full participation in society. The proliferation of criminal background checks alongside the sharp rise in the share of the population saddled with the stigma of a record—which has reached 1 in 3 U.S. adults2—have become major drivers of poverty and racial inequality in the United States. Nine in 10 employers, 4 in 5 landlords, and 3 in 5 colleges and universities now use background checks to screen out applicants with criminal records.3 Often called “collateral consequences,” the resulting barriers to employment, housing, education, and other basics put economic stability, let alone upward mobility, out of reach for tens of millions of individuals and families—disproportionately from communities of color—who have been affected by the U.S. criminal legal system. Black, Indigenous, and Latino communities have been particularly harmed by the dramatic increase in the number of people with records.

  • Reading Martha Lamont's Crow Story Today
    Oral Tradition, 13/1 (1998): 92-129 Reading Martha Lamont’s Crow Story Today Marya Moses and Toby C. S . Langen Translator’s Introduction to the Text1 In the early years of this century, probably about 1915, a white teenager dropped out of high school and went to work in a logging camp, an event that eventually led to the Crow story told by Martha Lamont that is printed here. Because of a hearing disability, the young man, Leon Metcalf, had run into trouble in a high school in Marysville, Washington, a town bordering the Tulalip Indian Reservation. In the logging camp Leon met some Snohomish Indian loggers, who took him under their wing, advised him, and taught him some of their language and something about their culture. In time, fortified by this care, Leon returned to school, finished college as a music major, toured the country as a member of a circus band, earned a masters degree, and became band director at Pacific Lutheran College (now University) in Seattle. While he was at Pacific Lutheran, Leon became interested in the work of the Wycliffe Bible Translators and took classes in fieldwork methods through the Summer Institute of Linguistics. In the early fifties, remembering the kindness of his Snohomish friends forty years earlier, he returned to Tulalip to record texts in what he and many others thought was a dying language: Lushootseed, the closely related group of tongues belonging to the Native peoples whose ancestral lands extend from the mountains to the salt water along the eastern shore of Puget Sound between Bellingham and Olympia.
